extent of reaction, Math - title
Extensive quantity describing the progress of a chemical reaction equal to the number of chemical transformations, as indicated by the reaction equation on a molecular scale, divided by the Avogadro constant (it is essentially the amount of chemical transformations). The change in the extent of reaction is given by Math - ei, where Math - text is the stoichiometric number of any reaction entity B (reactant or product) and Math - ei is the corresponding amount.
